Specification of the GZIP Data Format

Both the GZIP file format and the description of the compression method are published as Request For Comments (RFC). They do not have the status of an international standard and are only intended for information purposes.

RFC	Contents
RFC 1951	DEFLATE Compressed Data Format Specification
RFC 1952	GZIP File Format Specification

Current versions of both documents are available at gzip.org.
